BY GRANT JOHNSTON

Kawhia Police constable 7699304AA Perry Griffin is working on the principle that a gram of prevention is worth a kilo of cure. Last week he collected 30 safety helmets from Vaughan Glidden at The Honda Shop for quad bike riders in Kawhia. Constable Griffin says riders operating quad bikes without helmets was a key policing priority identified when he surveyed Kawhia community. ‘‘Rather than just chasing locals around and handing out tickets all the time, I decided to take a pro-active approach,’’ he says. ‘‘This is a generous sponsorship from The Honda Shop — the 30 helmets have a combined retail value of around $3,600. Vaughan’s support has been brilliant,’’ Mr Griffin says. He intends to give out 20 of the helmets to frequent quad bike users at Kawhia who do not have helmets. The other 10 will be made available for hire at the motor camp and other outlets — with TC140910GJ01 hireage fees being donated to VAUGHAN GLIDDEN of The Honda Shop presents 30 quad bike helmets to Kawhia Police Kawhia Fire Brigade and the constable, Perry Griffin. local St John Ambulance.
